Genes affected

WRN (HGNC:12791): (WRN RecQ like helicase) This gene encodes a member of the RecQ subfamily of DNA helicase proteins. The encoded nuclear protein is important in the maintenance of genome stability and plays a role in DNA repair, replication, transcription and telomere maintenance. This protein contains a N-terminal 3' to 5' exonuclease domain, an ATP-dependent helicase domain and RQC (RecQ helicase conserved region) domain in its central region, and a C-terminal HRDC (helicase RNase D C-terminal) domain and nuclear localization signal. Defects in this gene are the cause of Werner syndrome, an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by accelerated aging and an elevated risk for certain cancers. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2017]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant located near the start codon (<100nt), not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. There are 34 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 8-31058466-GA-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr8-31058466-GA-G is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 1452051.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Thr8Glnfs*12) in the WRN gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in WRN are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 16673358). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with WRN-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1452051). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
